Thermo-preserving container

ABSTRACT

A thermo-preserving container includes a body and a cone-shaped cap. The body consists of an annular inner wall and an annular outer wall, with an annular empty space defined between the inner and the outer wall for filling coolant therein through an intake bored in a bottom of the body. The intake is inserted with a stopper to keep the coolant in the annular empty space. The body has an inner empty space surrounded by the annular inner wall. The cone-shaped cap is provided with an annular connect member in a bottom end to threadably combined with the connect member of the body to combine the cap with the body. Then a drink or a wine in a bottle can be kept in the thermo-preserving container in a cooled condition, preserving the drink or wine to taste comparatively cool and fresh.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

This invention relates to a thermo-preserving container, particularly toone preserving liquor, drinks, or food in a low temperature, convenientto carry so that the content kept therein may taste comparatively cooland fresh.

2. Description of the Prior Art

Common drinks, liquors or refreshments are to be kept in a refrigeratorto be cooled for some degrees or to be added with ice cubes, if it iswanted to taste cool and fresh for drinking with pleasant perception andfeeling. However, if it is added with ice cubes for cooling a drink orrefreshment, it may taste rather thin, losing the original flavor, andmoreover, after the drink is taken out of the refrigerator, it will soonbecome warmer gradually under the room temperature, not tasting cool andfresh. Or a drink may be carried in a large thermo-preserving box filledwith ice for keeping the drink cool, but the thermo-preserving box maybe a little too large to carry along, not convenient to use.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This invention has been devised to offer a thermo-preserving containerthat can keep a drink, refreshment or food in a low temperature to tastecool and fresh, in addition to being handy to carry along.

The feature of the invention is a body consisting of an annular innerwall and an annular outer wall, with a cool medium filled in an annularempty space between the inner and the outer wall. An intake is providedin the bottom of the body for coolant to be filled in the annular emptyspace and closed up with a stopper after the coolant is filled therein,and an annular connect member is formed in an inner upper end of thebody. The body has an inner empty interior and a cone-shaped cap isclosed on the body, having an annular connect member to threadablyconnect with the annular connect member of the body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

A first embodiment of a thermo-preserving container in the presentinvention, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, includes a body 1 and acone-shaped cap 2 threadably closed on the body 1.

The body 1 consists of an annular inner wall 10 and an annular outerwall and an annular empty space (S) defined between the inner and theouter wall 10 and 11. Then a coolant is filled in the annular emptyspace (S), composed of a proper amount of a sterilizer (LXE) andanti-fungi agent, XB-2 and NIMBRIME mixed with water. Further the bodyis provided with an intake 13 in the bottom, and a stopper 14 insertedin the intake 13 after the coolant is filled in the annular empty space(S). Further the body 1 is provided with an inner empty space 17surrounded by the annular inner wall 10, an annular connect member 15with female threads formed in an upper end, an annular decorative member16 formed in the outer portion of the upper end and made of a differentmaterial or differently colored from the body.

The cone-shaped cap 2 is provided with an annular connect member 20 withmale threads formed in a bottom end, and the connect member 20 has anannular connect edge 200 in an upper end, with the connect member 20located just on the decorative member 16 and with the male threadsengaged with the female threads of the body 1. Further, the cone-shapedcap is provided with a grip hole 21 formed in an upper end, enabling thebody 1 together with the cap 2 to be carried with a hand.

In using, as shown FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, coolant 12 is poured in the emptyspace (S) of the body 1 through the intake 13, with the stopper 14inserted in the intake 13. Next, a wine bottle (A) with wine is placedin the inner empty space 17, and then the cone-shaped cap 2 is closed onthe body 1, by engaging the annular connect member 20 of the cap 2 withthe annular connect member 15 of the body 1, with the annular connectedge 200 resting just on the upper end of the decorative member 16. Thenthe wine bottle (A) is visible through the annular inner wall 10 and theannular outer wall 11, giving a beautifying appearance, and the body 1together with the cap 2 can be carried with a hand by inserting a fingerin the grip hole 21 of the cap 2. Then the wine in the wine bottle (A)may be kept cool and conveniently carried along.

Next, a second embodiment of a thermo-preserving container in theinvention is shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, which includes a body 1 and a cap2.

The body 1 is shaped cylindrical, having a rather large diameter, alsoconsisting of an annular inner wall 10 and an annular outer wall 11,with an annular empty space (S) defined between the inner and the outerwall 10 and 11 for a coolant to be filled therein. Further the body 1 isprovided with an intake 13 in its bottom and a stopper 14 inserted inthe intake 13 after the coolant is filled in the annular empty space(S), and a connect member 15 with female threads formed in an upper end,an annular decorative member 16 formed in the outer portion of the upperend, and an inner empty space 17 surrounded by the annular inner wall10.

The flat cap 2 is threadably combined on the body 1, provided with anannular connect member 20 with male threads and an annular connect edge200. Then the male threads of the connect member 20 engage with thefemale threads of the connect member 15 of the body 1, with the connectmember 20 just located on the decorative member 16. Further the cap 2 isprovided with a grip hole 21 formed on the center of an upper surface,enabling the body 1 together with the cap 2 to be carried with a hand.Moreover, the cap 2 is provided with an inner empty space 22.

In using the second embodiment of the thermo-preserving container, freshfruit or vegetable (B) can be placed in the inner empty space 17, andthe body 1 closed with the cap 2 by engagement of the male threads andthe female threads of the connect members 15 and 20 is possible to becarried in a hand, with the food preserved cool and fresh and eatablewith cool feeling and good hygiene.
